Ever felt see someone helpless and in need but you can't do nothing about it? I just did... over the web-cam with the sister.
My mum and I were happily in conversation with her over the web-cam. Then suddenly, she yelled and screamed and jumped up on her bed shouting "CAT!!!!"
side note: we're both the scardie-cat sisters, literally. Her worst horror surfaced out of no where and was standing next to her "
meow-ing" at her
. In her state of utter panic, she shouted at the cat, or rather shrieked at the cat and scared the cat of the room. Just before she slammed the door shut, she shrieked at the unwanted invader again. According to her, the cat returned her shriek with an "innocent stare".
The sister really panicked. Situation: Alone in the god-damn country, in the god-damn house, in the god-damn room. She has no phone in the small room, no windows to escape, no one to call out to, except to the untouchable
us. She burst out weeping and my heart sank. My mum and I can't do anything except to ask her to calm down. And I started analyzing the situation for her, trying to find solutions. I asked her to peep thru the door & try to see if the cat's still outside. & I told her to find some weapons- she showed me a
clothes-hanger. errr... alright, i'm sure that will do.
I then told her that if the cat's still outside, grab the house keys and get out of the house, get help from her neighhbour upstairs or the security guard. But she said that she won't want help from the security guard coz that way, they'll know that she lives alone in the house. opps....
But THANK GOD the cat ran out of the house coz my sis managed to pluck up her courage to take a look outside. She used her
weapon aka clothes hanger to knock at the tables and doors to check if the cat was hiding, no sight of the invader. whew....
To those who're reading this and think that it's really funny. That was my initial reaction too. But when I see her crying out to us for help, I wished at that instant that I was with her, or rather I'll bring my mum with me - coz another scardie cat won't be of much use to the situation. Right now, I've another thing to pray for besides her safety, that no unwanted invaders will intrude her peaceful life.
